Immuno-Hematology Comprehensive Program (Pediatric)
Immuno-Hematology Comprehensive Program (Pediatric)
The Immuno-Hematology Comprehensive Program at the University of Michigan brings together dedicated physicians, researchers, nurses, and social workers to deliver unsurpassed comprehensive care to children suffering from immune deficiencies, bone marrow failure syndromes, lymphoproliferative diseases and neutrophil disorders.
Our Approach
We understand that the care of your child is complex. It is our goal to provide the best care for your child by combining the knowledge and skills of multiple specialists together in one visit.
During your clinic visit, you may meet with one, many, or all of the specialty services, depending on the condition of your child.
Services
- Immunology: As your child may have a problem with his or her immune system, an expert in understanding the normal and pathologic processes in immunology is essential for your child’s care.
- Hematology: Our hematologists identify, diagnose and treat issues related to blood cells.
- Oncology: An oncologist is important to help prevent cancer development. In addition, if cancer does develop in your child, our pediatric oncologists are familiar with immuno-hematology diseases and are able to provide comprehensive, integrated care for your child.
- Bone Marrow Transplant: If your child’s condition can be cured with a bone marrow transplant, you will be able to meet one of our bone marrow transplant physicians to discuss this treatment option. Bone marrow transplant offers a curative therapy for many primary immune deficiencies and hematologic disorders.
- Infectious Disease: The infectious disease specialists will provide methods to reduce the chances of infection as well as give your child the right medicine to treat any developed infections.
- Genetics: Our geneticists will help diagnose and identify specific mutations that may result in an immunologic or hematologic disease. They will also provide education to your family so you can understand what this may mean for other members of the family and the risk of passing a familial disorder to future children.
Appointment Information
For more information regarding the Immuno-Hematology Comprehensive Program, or to schedule an appointment, please call 734-936-9814.
Research
Our clinic physicians are not only experts in the care of children affected by these disorders, but also are involved in ground-breaking research to understand, diagnose and treat these rare and serious diseases.
If your child is eligible for research trials, we may ask for you to participate in our research endeavors. However, the excellent care received by your child will not be dependent on your participation in these trials.
